Alexander Chenchenko

Alexander Chenchenko, Édi Kettemann, and Jelena Brezac are three filmmakers with different backgrounds who found their paths meeting at their common interest for ethnography. It was during the Summer School for Ethnographic Film at the University of Göttingen where they first met, and where an immediate friendship between the three was born. Friendship – a common and shared space where intimacy lives in. It is undoubtedly the strength of this intimacy that gave nature to such an intense ethnographic and filmic experience, finally yielding in the relationship created with the enchanting prince, its surroundings, and the resulting motion picture The Prince of Shoes.
